C.S. Lewis is one of the best loved authors of the twentieth century. Yet he is often compared unfavourably to his friend J.R.R. Tolkien. One of the reasons is that Lewis is more open with his Christian allusions, mixing theology with fiction, to the detriment of the latter. Whatever the merits of the two authors, this lecture argues that Lewis’s approach to adding explicit theological allusion to his fiction is in keeping with great Elizabethan poets of the Renaissance, meaning his poetics is simply recognizably Protestant. ❤️ If you find my channel helpful, become a channel member: www.youtube.com/c/DrScottMasson ❤️ Subscribe to my Substack: https://drscottmasson.substack.com/ ❤️ Support my channel and assist me in providing better content: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=FZN9nCjKxWQNUnF_jsASfpjiVyRpj1H_mdGvxmYj9wIO-ZgrxM5vR1V-nTy3kKygP1gh10&fromUL=true&country.x=CA&locale.x=en_US/?token=FZN9nCjKxWQNUnF_jsASfpjiVyRpj1H_mdGvxmYj9wIO-ZgrxM5vR1V-nTy3kKygP1gh10&fromUL=true&country.x=CA&locale.x=en_US
